YaST problem - 11.0 32bit (GOME 2.22)

Good evening

After having updated my PC I do not get to open YaST2 anymore, so I
tried to run yast2 from gnome-terminal, I can open YaST2 main menu
getting the follow message:

Code:

dhcppc0:/home/carla # yast2
/usr/share/themes/Synchronicity/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:46: Clearlooks configuration option “menuitemstyle” is not supported and will be ignored.


After if I try to open any YaST2 sub menu but I can’t open them at all,
and I get the following messages in the gnome-terminal:

Code:

/usr/share/themes/Synchronicity/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:46: Clearlooks configuration option “menuitemstyle” is not supported and will be ignored.
/usr/share/themes/Synchronicity/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:47: Clearlooks configuration option “listviewitemstyle” is not supported and will be ignored.
/usr/share/themes/Synchronicity/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:48: Clearlooks configuration option “progressbarstyle” is not supported and will be ignored.


Really I don’t understand… It was working very well so far, someone
has an idea how to solve the problem?

Many thanks.
Amos

Many thanks

Do you mean Glossy, openSUSE 11 Gilouche, Clearlooks etc…
In my italian version the application name is “Aspetto”.
If is that I tried but still same problem.

What I can do? I can’t work without yast…

Ok you did try changing your theme already. Something went wrong with
your last update. You are using gnome and maybe the yast installed in
your machine is the yast gtk, not sure though i am not using gnome. Just
for kicks there might be a yast qt installed also, are you using some
kde apps by any chance?
if yes try in terminal kdesu yast2. With gnome try gnomesu yast2 or
gksu yast2
If none works maybe you have to fix yast installation either by using
the install dvd/cd or using smart. or using yast in text mode by running
the command yast in a terminal (not yast2)

Thank you.

I don’t think to use any KDE apps…
I tried

Code:

dhcppc0:/home/carla # gnomesu yast2
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
(y2controlcenter-gnome:15441): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0


I say give the comman yast in a terminal, I did and I get to open
yast2, but what I have to do to fix the problem?

Sorry but I am not so expert.

Thank you again.

Sorry I didn’t made it clear. What I was trying to imply was to try
those commands for yast2 and if it will fail to work the last resort is
to try to run yast in text mode and repair your yast installation by
maybe downgrading it either from the opensuse oss repositories or from
your installation cd/dvd.

Thank you.

Did you mean the command

Code:

yast2


In order to try to open yast interface?

I tried, I can open it but I can’t open any sub menu.

I went to yast text mode, but, if I want to try to uninstall yast,
which package I should choose?

There are so many…
yast2 is OK?

after I could try to install it again…

Is it correct the procedure?

Thank you again.

Let’s do it slowly and go back from the start.
It seems that this is a gnome related problem generated from your last
update and it affected your yast gtk which I assume is the gnome
default. As I said I am not using gnome but using xfce and using the
yast qt.

Lets try if you can run the yast qt from the terminal and hope it is
installed in your system.

Open a terminal type su, type your root password and type yast2 --qt

Many thanks again.

By the time, I don’t know if it has been a good idea, I uninstalled
yast2 using testual version (I mean typing yast from root) and all
relative dependecies.

Afer I tried to install it again with this command

Code:

zypper in yast2


Now I can open it (by terminal) but I have only the main mask without
all relative menus, my 1st question is:
How I can re-install yast2 and all relatives dependencies?

With reference to your instruction I tried

Code:

yast2 --qt


I get to open testual interface, but is empty, maybe because I
uninstalled yast2…

Here I am, thank you again for your help.

Why did you uninstall yast? you could have just update or downgrade it.
I never use zypper
So can’t give you advise on ins and outs regarding it.

Let’s try and check your yast installation using your browser.
Do you have konqueror installed in your system or firefox installed?

Open a terminal and type su type your root password

If you are using konqueror run this command in the terminal as root

Code:

siga kon

If you are using firefox run this command in the terminal as root

Code:

siga fox

As soon as you run those command just wait for a while and there will
be information that will come out as soon as your browser open. In your
browser (konqueror or firefox) look for the rpm and click it and look
for the yast packages installed in your machine, copy and paste it and
post it here so we can compare and see what are the missing yast
packages.
That’s all I can advise you for now.

Note:
Siga only run with root permission
In short you have to open the terminal-type su-type the root
password-type siga kon or siga fox

Hope this helps a bit in diagnosing your problem

I have already re-installed yast with the DVD.

Now:

when I run

Code:

yast


I get to open yast (test mode) and I can see all relative sub menu, it
works.

When I run

Code:

dhcppc0:/home/carla # yast2 --qt
Qt GUI wanted but not found, falling back to ncurses.


I get to open yast (test mode), but not in graphical interface (same if
I run # yast2 only).

In addition, now, I can’t find YaAST icon anymore…

Please, tell me if you need more informations

It seems that you are missing the yast2 -control-center-gnome it is I
presumed to run your yast-gtk I suspect that as soon as you add it it
will pick some needed dependencies and it might build the missing yast
icon also that you were looking.

With your question about running the yast2 --qt you will need the
package called yast2-qt

automatically add the packages needed to run it in your system.

Thank you very much again.

I installed yast2-qt and automatically I had yast2-qt-pkg dependency.

Now I can open (by terminal) yast2 graphical interface (kde style,
doesn’t mutter is the same)

YaST2 icon on the applications bar desappiared, so I made a link with
the command

Code:

kdesu /sbin/yast2


I think now it is ok, thank you so much for your cooperation.
